85-50 85th Drive, Queens, NY 11421
The six-story residential building at 85-50 85th Drive in Woodhaven, owned by Tal Sharon, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 1926. The 84-unit New Law Tenement has faced multiple challenges in recent years, with the most recent housing maintenance concerns centering around unsanitary conditions and pests noted in June 2025, with violations issued that the owner is required to address.
Previous complaints between 2023 and 2024 have documented various maintenance issues, including water leaks (both heavy and slow), heat and hot water problems, and complaints about wall conditions requiring attention as evidenced by violations issued in April 2024 and December 2024. The building has a concerning history of elevator-related violations, with multiple complaints between 2021 and 2025 regarding safety features, including problems with door zone restrictors, brake monitoring systems, and maintenance records. These violations have resulted in financial penalties, including a $1,250 fine issued in May 2024.
There have been consistent reports of bedbug infestations in recent years, with the most recent reports (2023-2024) indicating unit-specific infestations that were subsequently eradicated. Other notable issues include lead paint hazards identified in 2023 (particularly in apartment 1F), plumbing concerns (including radiator problems), and historical elevator safety concerns. While the building has passed rodent inspections in 2014, 2017, and most recently in 2023, the persistence of various maintenance issues and the need for multiple violation corrections raise ongoing maintenance and safety concerns.
